Fellow Nigerians, please feel free to attack Reno all you want, in fact i encourage you to take him to the cleaners but please please whatever you do dont put this oyinbo man on a pedestal or elevate him to a status he doesnt deserve. He is here to exploit Nigeria and Nigerians dont turn him into a hero! he doesnt love Nigeria or Nigerians he is here in Nigeria running his own scam under the guise of IDP and we are the ones being scammed!

again have a field day with Reno, he deserves it but dont make the mistake of thinking this guy has any good interests in Nigeria.

i can guarantee you he is laughing at all of us thinking we are so gullible!

Putinofrussia:
Don't be an olodo.
Everybody knows that Yoruba owns Egusi.
Yorubas don't mind whatever you do with Egusi.It is a gift with love from your senior bros and sis.

Kewekubosineh:
Keep shut!

Are you joking. You want to compare your people with people of South East extraction, abi? Joker!

They're blessed people. You can Hate but can't deny them their ingenuity and craftmship.

Enjoy your Aso Oke and OWAMBE/party you are known for.

Mtchweee 😔

chiagozien:
Helinues is no more around



Bandits attacked his town.

Putinofrussia:
It is normal seeing Igbos coming from far far Igboland to come and beg for alms from their rich Yoruba hosts.
Igbos and poverty are like 5 & 6.
Most of those people are the Igbo gala hawkers who populate the SW begging for alms.
Some were caught in Ondo and Ekiti in the traffic scamming their rich Yoruba hosts that they are blind.

A 30 year-old-woman, Chinyere Onuara, has been nabbed for pretending to be blind and receiving alms from unsuspecting members of the public.

Putinofrussia:
Sure there is an ipobianian behind this character and surely jobless.

olabrad:
Reno lied that there is no Christian genocide in Nigeria

Racoon:

He is now advertising Dangote Refinery, gone back to his grow and buy Nigeria campaigns among his failed endeavors of old.

JASONjnr:
I'll remind you when Reno replies with facts..... He doesn't miss.

Putinofrussia:
Ahead in backwardness or what?
Yorubas have not only gone to space,they have sent egusi to space while you continue to beg for alms in the SW and etc
Continue to hate on your helper,you hear?

Egusi soup just like okro, waterleaf, spinach, bitterleaf etc are not particular to any tribe in West Africa. They grow naturally and are thus used by all within the West African region regardless of tribe or culture. I can bet the egusi you eat in the East today is cultivated in the North

Putinofrussia:
I don't have to argue with you because some of the words you use in your Igbo language were given to you by Ajayi Crowther who taught you Igbos how to read and write.

Our forefathers even have proverbs tied to our beloved Egusi which we gifted you Igbos.


A fi Egusi je iyan tan, eepo re wa di ohun ti a kii ji ri.
Meaning:
Having finished eating pounded yam with melon soup, shells of melon seeds now become a taboo that we don't set our eyes upon early in the morning.
Taboos and superstitions, called eewo in Yoruba, which are deeply rooted in a people's culture and religious beliefs, are known to have been part of early man's efforts to explain nature and his own existence, to avoid evil he could not understand as well as pry into the future.
Yoruba culture is rich in so many such taboos. Examples abound. Omode ko gbodo fi igi fa ila si ile. A child must never draw lines on the ground. A ko gbodo ta ayo ni owuro, ki oju eni naa ma ba fo. The ayo game must never be played in the morning to avoid blindness.
A good example is the one quoted in this item. It is forbidden for the melon peels to remain on the ground to be trod upon when day breaks. It was simply meant to force the peelers, (who usually peeled by hand) to quickly clean up after themselves. The saying is from a commentary on the situation.
After being nourished by the melon seeds, the shells are treated despisingly as they are looked upon as evil that brings bad luck. It implies that it is wrong to treat something with disdain or ignominy after benefitting good things from them.
This is another item in the book OLOGBON WO NI O MO IDI OWE- A Synopsis of Selected Yoruba Proverbs and Sayings by Adenike Omotunde Lapite. Copies are available in the UK and the United States of America and Nigeria.

OfoIgbo:
You are supporting my point somewhat. Bitter leaf probably grows in every state of Nigeria. But we all know it is the Igbos that cook bitter leaf soup.

The same goes for egusi soup. In fact the Ibibios and Efiks are in a better place to claim egusi, but they don't, because they know it is Igbo. Just the same way Igbos are in the better place to claim Edikangkong soup, but Igbos don't, because Igbos know it is an Akwa-Cross delicacy.

Kukutente23:
You mean Igbos taught other tribes how to grow and eat egusi? Are you sure about that?

And where did you get the idea that only Igbos eat bitterleaf soup in Nigeria

OfoIgbo:
Egusi is eaten when roasted, just like groundnut can be eaten when roasted.
So I can't claim Igbos taught other tribes how to grow and eat egusi.
But one thing I know, is that egusi soup was invented by Igbos. It is a part of our traditional feast, and Igbos know the ingredients in egusi soup and these ingredients can also be found in some other Igbo soups.
I asked your friend to list the ingredients Yorubas use, when cooking their egusi soup. I am still waiting for his reply.

With regards to bitterleaf soup, please give us the ethnic group that prepares bitterleaf soup other than the Igbo. I want to know those ethnic groups.

Kukutente23:
I have eaten egusi soup from Yoruba, Igbo and a northern tribe and they all did theirs differently
For the egusi soup in Yorubaland, they first fry the palm oil, then pour the egusi mixed with onion into it.
For the Igbo, they don't fry the palm oil, they add it while the egusi is cooking on the fire. If I'm wrong, correct me
For the Nupe, they don't use palm oil at all, they use benniseed oil or groundnut oil and it's very small quantity compared to the two above
Yoruba egusi is thicker than Igbo egusi soup.

Yoruba, Idoma, Numan and Bini are tribes that I know that make bitterleaf soup other than the Igbo. The Efik and Annang use bitterleaf in some of their soups to. Like i told you, these leaves are indigenous to West Africa and thus no tribe can claim sole ownership

Next thing, you'll claim ewedu(jute leaves) is exclusive to Yoruba and who will you give okro to?

OfoIgbo:
Igbos have several ways of preparing their egusi soup. At times Igbos fry the palm oil before adding the egusi also.

That is why I asked you for the ingredients. That is what will reveal the truth. I will love to know the vergetable Yorubas put in their egusi soup also, as Igbos use UGU, which is an Igbo word by the way, and we use ugu for various soups.

With regards to bitterleaf soup, Igbos are the only group that use cocoayam to thicken their soup, so I am interested to know how the other tribes prepare their bitterleaf soup.
Igbos call it Onugbu soup, and it is the Igbo onugbu soup that I get whenever I ask for onugbu soup in restaurants.
The Igbo version of bitterleaf soup is also the bitterleaf soup that everyone knows of.

Kukutente23:
The questions you're asking are largely irrelevant. Your first question assumes that all methods of cooking egusi must involve the use of vegetables. Neither Yoruba nor nupe add any vegetables to their egusi basically. Some Yorubas who do add scent leaves which is locally called (efirin) or another leaf called worowo. The north add the normal spinach if they need to. Neither Yoruba nor Nupe use ugu in cooking egusi
The efik use waterleaf and bitterleaf for their edikaikong
The Yorubas use bitterleaf to make vegetables along with spinach or alone. You can Google it for more tribes

OfoIgbo:
Igbos also use bitterleaf to cook egusi, but we all know Yorubas don't have bitterleaf soup. So don't try to sell another line that egusi cooked with bitterleaf is the Yoruba version.

I still want you to mention the ingredients Yorubas use in preparing egusi.

Kukutente23:
Are you sure you read what I wrote? I mentioned two leaves Yoruba use in preparing egusi and made clear to you that most Yoruba don't add leaves when cooking egusi. The fact that you do not recognise the leaves should already tell you what you're looking for

Read and understand pls
